27 Reasons

Today is my wonderful husband's birthday! He is turning the big 2-7! Good thing guys don't really care about age or numbers! I thought as a little tribute to him today, I would list in no particular order, 27 reasons why I love Eric so much, and why I am so thankful he was born!!

Eric...
1. I love that I can tell you anything, you are so easy to talk to, a good listener, and you don't judge. I loved that about you from when we first started dating over 10 years ago, and I still love that about you today!
2. I adore how much you love and respect your parents and family.
3. I love how you allow God to lead your life and our family. It would be easy to follow your own ambitions, but you made the choice a long time ago to let God lead you.
4. I love how you look at Molly when she is reading to you, or just sitting next to you.
5. I love how you take care of me and Molly. We can always count on you and you have never let us down!
6. I love how you can give me that look and I know everything will be okay, or that I need to calm down :)
7. I love that you are pateint with me.
8. Although you may not love this one sweet husband of mine, I love that you bought me a cat after we got married!
9. I love that you jump in to help out in any situation. You have no hesitation, you just go for it.
10. I love how you and Molly go out on little dates. I am so happy that you want to be the one to show her how she deserves to be treated by boys.
11. I love that you are athletic. I could watch you play sports all day long.
12. I love that you love to grill! I don't even know how to light that thing!
13. I love that you are a Pastor. A long time ago you would have laughed at the thought, but now you truly embrace it.
14. I love that you love to cook and bake!
15. I love the constant support you always give me! You are my number 1 fan :)
16. I love that you still hold my hand.
17. I love the way you make my coffee in the mornings.
18. I love that every time you leave to go somewhere you still kiss me good-bye.
19. I love that Molly got her beautiful curls from you.
20. I love looking into your eyes and being reminded of our wedding day.
21. I love that you are adventourous and challenge me to try new things.
22. I love that you are stinkin' hilarious! You make me laugh every single day.
23. I love the fact that you are hard core to Molly's face, and then we laugh about it after she leaves the room!
24. I love that you make me eat a vegetable with lunch and dinner. Although I may protest, deep down I know it's good for me!
25. I love that you are cheap, yes honey, you are! But it's clearly worked for us, and we have never gone without!
26. I love that you are a good friend to those around you. People know they can count on you and you will be there for them.
27. Last, but not least, I love that you decided to pick me. You could have spent your life with anyone, but you picked me. I love everything about you! I love that you aren't afraid to be yourself around people, and you are always smiling!

Happy Birthday to the love of my life, the one God has blessed me with,
